Antivirus reports

The Antivirus Reports section is an archive that holds all reports from current and previous scan activities and On Access detection. By viewing it, you can get an idea of your computer's current condition.

If you’re a less experienced user, the scan reports are essential when requesting assistance from our Support Team.
